Default Help with Rancho MyRide Wireless Controller

Hi,

I had installed the MyRide wireless controler on Rancho shock absorbers last week. Yesterday while going ina dry river bed, a rock hit the small conector that gets the air from the line into to the shock absorber.

I think this will be a recurrent issue, since the conector is very exposed.

Any ideas on how to prevent this?

I have the rancho adjustable shocks. I made my own skids to offer a little more protection. 3/16 plate, I cut them out from a card board template I made. It starts at the lower control arm, folds under, then extends past the shock mount. It's welded on. I took pictures but they weren't good.

That's exactly what I was thinking but I couldn't remember who made them. Thanks!
